About this map

Haleiwa and Waialua anchor this North Shore landscape during a period of intensive agricultural production. The industrial presence of the Sugar Mill and its associated infrastructure, including the Waialua Gakuen (Sch) and numerous worker housing areas like Kawailoa Camp and Kemoo Camp 1, illustrates the plantation-driven economy of the mid-20th century. The terrain is deeply carved by the Anahula River and Helemano Stream, with irrigation networks like the Opaeula Res supporting the fields between the coast and the mountain slopes.

Religious and community life is reflected in landmarks such as the Kawailoa Soto Mission and School and the Palama Settlement. To the south, the transition from plantation land to military use is marked by the sprawling Schofield Barracks Military Reservation and Whitmore Village. Coastal recreation is already established at Haleiwa Beach Park, while the interior remains defined by the Kawailoa Forest Reserve and the Mokuleia Forest Reserve.
